The scenario is: I have Virtual Box and VMWare Workstation. I have successfully exported a VirtualBox image to VMWare and it is working fine. Next I downloaded the OVF Tool and ran the command: $ovftool It converted and created 4 filed: 1. mf file 2. ovf file 3. vmdk file 4. disk image. When I tried importing the ovf file in Virtual Box, it failed with the following error: Failed to import appliance Debianexport.ovf. Error reading "Debianexport.ovf": unknown element "Config" under Item element, line 48. Result Code: VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004) Component: Appliance Interface: IAppliance {3059cf9e-25c7-4f0b-9fa5-3c42e441670b} Regards guys,
